Hey guys. Well this is another story, I have come up with. As for my other stories, life has not been good to me right now, so I'm trying to get myself together. I wrote this story to lift up my spirits, I hope you guys like it. If it gets enough interest, I will continue. :) So please review!

The Fateful Meeting

"Late! Late! Late!"

This voice.

A red haired man turned around to see a high school girl running through the streets. Her black unbound hair was flying behind her and her eyes were glued to her watch.

She might have been too preoccupied with her watch since she never noticed the pole in front of her until she slammed into it.

Kagome swore she could see stars flying around her as she looked up dazzled at sky, until curious green eyes blocked it.

"Shippo?"

Her vision cleared, and saw that it wasn't her beloved kit, but a man. A very handsome one at that.

Kurama was taken back by the name and watched as blue eyes blinked trying to see better.

It can't be her! She can't be alive. I saw her, I saw her die!

Kurama frowned.

'Youko what are you talking about'

"Um, hey, heey!" Kagome who was already up, waved her hand in front of him.

Kurama looked down at her, and could only blink.

"Hmm, you sure are weird."

'Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding,' A school bell could be heard, and Kagome jumped.

"No!" She turned around and ran.

Fool go after her!

"Miss, wait!" Kurama ran after her, but the crowd, engulfed her and he lost sight of her.

Damn it!

…...

The bell rang signaling the end of school.

Kagome packed up her things with a sigh. Fighting a demon was much more easier then this.

Her whole walk home she had her head down and an aura of failure around her. Everybody who passed by her stayed away, all except one.

Taking the last step up the shrine stairs, she was assaulted by the demonic aura that was gathered around a certain place. She dropped her school bag and ran towards the Sacred Tree.

She came to a halt when she saw the same red haired guy from this morning standing in front of the tree. His hand was placed on it's trunk the same place Inuyasha was pinned to and the look in his eyes was that of sadness.

"Excuse me." Her voice broke through his dark thoughts, and he turned around to see her smiling at him.

'This demonic aura, where is it coming from.' In front of her was a human not a demon, but a human, there was no tainted aura, he was just human. 'But if it's not his and who's?"

He dropped his hand from where it was lying and turned fully to her.

"I was walking by here, when I noticed the shrine, I came to pray, I hope that was alright."

Kagome couldn't help laughing at him.

"This is a shrine, everybody comes here to pray, of course it's alright." She outstretched her hand out to him.

"I'm sorry I ran after our little encounter, but my name's Higurashi Kagome."

Kurama smiled and took her hand in his, he lifted it up and placed a kiss on her knuckles.

"I'm Shuichi Minamino, It's a pleasure to meet you." The wind suddenly picked up as leaves began to fall all around them, both turned to look up at the tree.

Kagome began to chuckle.

"You know, maybe this is a sign."

Kurama looked down at her confused.

"My mother, when she met my father, it was under this exact same tree."

"Are you proposing to me?"

Kagome's face turned red as she looked the other way, in a huff.

"I just met you, and our first encounter wasn't anything to be proud of." Shuichi couldn't help laughing at the puckered up face she made.

Kagome couldn't help but calm down when she heard his light laughter. She chuckled too and looked up at the tree gently.

"All I am saying is that maybe fate wanted us too meet, maybe romantically maybe not, but I can't help getting this feeling that you are somehow important to me.

She doesn't know how much.

Kagome looked up at him confused. "Did you say something?"

"Huh, Oh no, you must be hearing things." He covered up.

'Did she just hear Youko.'

Kagome swore she heard a voice just now, but maybe he was right, maybe she was imagining things.

…...

It was a time later before Kagome walked Shuichi down the shrine stairs and into the streets.

"It was really nice being able to meet you Shuichi." Kagome said her hands behind her back and smiling.

And it was not a lie. The time she spent with him, she felt normal again, not the time traveling 16 year old girl, but a normal teenage high school girl.

"Like wise Kagome, I hope we can meet again."

He boldly, swooped down and placed a kiss on her cheek.

"See you." He said with a wave and walked away.

Kagome stood their frozen and watched him get swooped with the crowd as she lightly placed her fingertips where his lips had touched.

She turned around and ran up the stairs, her bangs hiding her eyes, but a happy smile showing on her lips.

She came to a halt when she saw Inuyasha leaning against the well house door, waiting for her.

A feeling of dread filled her up.

"Is it time already?"

Inuyasha looked up at her, a sad smile on his face.

"It's time."

…...

'Is there anything you want to tell me Youko.'

Ever since they left Kagome's house, Youko became eerily quiet, usually the fox would have a conversation with him, to pass time, but this time he just stayed silent.

"It's nothing you need to pay attention to, she is just somebody I knew a long, long time ago."

Kurama suddenly became interested.

'What do you mean you know her since long ago. How long are you saying."

Youko didn't speak.

'Youko!'

"500 years."

Kurama's eyes visibly widened.

"500 years! How is that possible. I-Is she a demon?" He tried thinking back when he was with her, and trying to see if there was anything odd about her.

Youko laughed.

"She can never possibly be that, she is the contrary of that actually. She is a miko. A powerful one and more than just that."

'Is she someone special to you?' The way he spoke of her, it made his heart race.

'That, is something you don't need to know." He snapped.

The one from right now and the one from back then are different, this one still has innocence within her.

Kurama decided to leave it at that and thought of another question.

"What happened to the one in the past."

A bit of Youko's will spread across his arm, as it rose up claws sprung forth from his hand.

"I killed her, with these very hands."

I hope you guys liked this. It's not as good as the other stories I've read with this pairing, but I tried. Please tell me what you thought about this. Review! Please!
